Clear textbox after click event problem

Question

Hello,

I have a simple VB.Net application.

There are two textboxes:

- TeacherResult
- TeacherInput

One button:

- AddTeacher

After the click on AddTeacher: The input of the user in the TeacherInput textbox will show the input in the TeacherResult textbox.

TeacherResult.Text = "The name of the teacher is: " & TeacherInput.Text

The TeacherInput is cleared with TeacherInput.Text = ""

If the input is empty and the AddTeacher button is clicked the program give a warning. But also after the input of the user the program give a warning, because the TeacherInput is cleared after the button click.

How can I solve this in a good way?

My code

    Private Sub AddTeacher_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs) Handles AddTeacher.Click

        If TeacherInput.Text = "" Then
            WarningText.Visibility = Windows.UI.Xaml.Visibility.Visible
            WarningText.Text = "There is no input"
        Else
            TeacherResult.Text = "The name of the teacher is: " & TeacherInput.Text
        End If
        TeacherInput.Text = ""

    End Sub
End Class

Sorry for my bad English.

Thanks in advance.

We can't tell you how to fix your code without seeing the relevant parts of your code.

Use the "Improve Question" link to share the code from the button click

I think you have to show what's happening in your "click handler".

Thank you for the replies.

Sorry I forget to add my code. I have changed my post.

I've just tried your code and am not getting the warning if there is text in the box. Do you have any other code that might fire that warning? Are you double-clicking the button?
Try putting a breakpoint on

If TeacherInput.Text = "" Then

and step through the code to see what is happening

It seems there was a bug in my event handler. I replaced my event handler and the code is working fine. Thank you for all the help.

You have to reset the warning visibility each time you click; so the first statement / default should be to hide the message, then check.

It happens so fast, there is no benefit to "reusing a message" if that's what you're thinking.

Your option, I assume, is Collapsed. I find that warning text blocks that "pop up" below the offending content aren't disruptive. This means things like a TextBox and Warning in the same stack panel, for example, with the warning collapsed by default.
